Chloe Sevigny summons her killer instinct
With "Big Love" behind her, Chloe Sevigny seems to be ready to let the bodies pile up. She's been talking about producing and starring in an HBO project about ax-murderer Lizzie Borden – who may or may not have been a lesbian – and now she's set to play a pre-op MTF trans assassin for a new, as-yet-untitled Irish miniseries from some of the people behind the scandalous BBC show "Skins," which was remade for not-at-all-ready-for-it American audiences by MTV. (Sevigny is also rumored to be appearing in one of gay comic Drew Droege's lovingly satirical "Chloe" YouTube videos, but that's another story.) Regarding her transgender hit lady, Sevigny says the producers very intentionally didn't cast a male actor, so she's going to play it feminine and glamorous – and in an Irish accent, to boot – so we totally can't wait for the show to make it to these shores.
Bryan Singer wants Jaime Winstone to kill
Bryan Singer, as ever, remains as busy as a very gay bee – he's directing "Jack the Giant Killer" starring Nicholas Hoult of "X-Men: First Class" (which Singer produced), and he signed on as an executive producer of the much-anticipated queer documentary "Activist: The Times of Vito Russo," about the groundbreaking author of "The Celluloid Closet." Also on Singer's substantial "to do" list is producing – and here's a title for the Internet generation – "uwantmetokillhim?," about two teen boys who meet online and wind up hatching a murder plot. No word yet on who will play the homicidal adolescents, but the cast will include the glamorous Jaime Winstone, who played an auto worker and would-be model in last year's UK sleeper "Made in Dagenham." Get ready to tweet an invite to your friends to go see "uwantmetokillhim?" when it opens next year.
Naya Rivera of 'Glee' goes solo
Another fresh week, another wisely-timed, brand-sustaining nugget of "Glee"-related news. The kids are spending the summer touring the nation and their show will be captured for a live 3D concert film due in August, but now news has emerged that Naya Rivera – who's stolen countless scenes this season as the tart-tongued and secretly lesbian Santana, the terror of Lima Heights Adjacent – will be releasing a solo album. Columbia Records is behind her CD, which she'll start taping after the summer tour; the not-yet-titled record makes her the third of "Glee" gang to go solo, following Mark Salling (Puck) and Matthew Morrison's forays into the field. No one's talking about what style of music Rivera will be recording, and given the range of material she's performed on the show – "River Deep, Mountain High," "Landslide," songs from "Rocky Horror" – it's anyone's guess. But if she can bowl over audiences with her singing and her comic abilities, so much the better for her post-"Glee" career.
Somebody please let Amber Heard 'Drive Angry' again
Patrick Lussier, the director of the not-seen-by-nearly-enough-people "Drive Angry" is currently in the business of doing two things: 1) promoting the DVD/Blu-ray release of that movie and 2) teasing lustful lesbians everywhere with the promise of a sequel, one that should, by rights, be titled "Drive Angry 2: The Angriering." And a sequel would mean more Amber Heard, who may be the sexiest and youngest openly lesbian actress Hollywood has right now. Lussier told MTV news that depending on the home viewing receipts the movie scares up, a sequel to the crazy save-the-baby-from-a-satanic-cult-via-fast-driving action movie could very well shift into gear. He also promises to kill every single character in it if it happens, which would mean no more Amber for part three. But whatever, somebody in Hollywood with money needs to give this shlocky visionary the green light his project deserves.
